[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#667161: Bug#667161: FASTX-Toolkit faisl to build with GCC-4.7.

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I also can confirm that it builds nicely with gcc-4.7.  I admit I
somehow missed this mail and just uploaded a patched 0.0.13.1 to Debian
unstable.  I agree with Charles that it would help if you could release
every version on your default download location (I noticed that also
version 0.0.13.1 was not there).

When preparing the recent package I noticed that you are providing
scripts featuring language extensions (.pl and .sh).  Debian Policy[1]
says:

    When scripts are installed into a directory in the system PATH, the
    script name should not include an extension such as .sh or .pl that
    denotes the scripting language currently used to implement it.

and there are several good reasons to follow this advise.  Could you
imagine to drop this extension in the script names - IMHO this would be
a good idea as long as fastx-toolkit is 0.0.x numbered.

Kind regards and thanks for providing fastx-toolkit as free software

    Andreas.

PS: Is there any publication about fastx-toolkit?  We are gathering
    such information to display it on Debian Med tasks pages[2] but
    I did not found anything on the web.
